Heartbound free download The first half of the book the teenage years shed light on the LGBTQ community in the 1980s the stigma tied to it and even legal repercussions on top of all of the drama and confusion of being a teenager and dating Chrissie and Tara navigate these situations and start their love story which fizzles out due to societal pressures but not for long We get to hear of Chrissie again when she rekindles with Tara during her thirties and has drama in losing jobs starting new careers raising children and then the feelings for the only girl she has been in love with coming back up This portion of her live comes with a variety of twists and turns that I don t think anyone can predict coming and leaves us wanting . Heart sounds book The last chapters of Tara s story comes in 2020 when the coronavirus pandemic is plaguing society and shutting everyone s doors Chrissie is thrown into anxiety stress and panic attacks which nobody was impervious to during that time The way the author portrays the entire experience was extremely vivid she painted a picture that I couldn t take my eyes off of I was brought to tears by the perspective of first responders those affected with the virus and the families involved as it hit home to my own experiences Extremely well written and appreciated the point of view and the way it was so applicable to my own life. Heartbound pf2e As the book progresses it becomes easier and easier to relate to Chrissie and Tara and many other characters that come into play and can be compared to our own friends family and drama It was educational in highlighting some of the historical events that have happened in near history and really diving into what everyday life was like in these eras An additional fun aspect is seeing the way things change over the time periods including the acceptance of being gay at this time and the technology that made our world so much smaller I would certainly read novels by Clare Stevens and recommend it to anyone who enjoys romance nonfiction and a book that is inspiring in the face of adversity 9781913117238
